Bloggy goodness

I updated the links on the right side of the blog. I didn't think there was really much point in keeping the 'connect to ROM' and 'vote for ROM' links. There are some new ones to look at. If anyone has any ideas for more linky goodness, let me know.

And life goes on.

Interesting how life goes on. ROM's closing brought so many people together at the last moment - funny how people gather together to celebrate the ending of something spectacular. It's like seniors getting together to celebrate graduation - one last moment when we can be together on the old campus, so to speak.

But life marches on.

I have to admit, my past four years on ROM - has it been that little time? - has been very productive. I started as a player back in 1999, touched base again in late 2001, and started writing in 2002. My goal as a writer was to work on description, and there was no better way to do it than to write the same straight road ten different times. No, really, I mean it.

I was surprised and thankful for the friendships I've developed over the years, and I'm looking forward to continuing those relationships in spite of the old stomping grounds being shut down.

Anyway, as Kroz mentioned, I'm currently idling a lot on matmud, so feel free to stop on by. I've given my areas to Matrim, the imp, to import, so you might be able to see more of my writing on the MUD than you would have thought. ROMmies are taking over the player base, so it's definitely a good place to catch up with people, even if the learning curve is high.

Thanks ROM ~ RIP

Muds are, in large, a part of why the picture above exists. If not for ROM,we never would have met.Well, not that we met ON ROM, but if not for the fact that ROM existed (the code),there wouldn't have been the muds that we DID meet onand the ensuing relationship never would have had a chance... maybe.I personally wouldn't want to take that chance... so thanks ROM (and thoes talented creators of it)! -=*=- RIP -=*=-

Thanks for a great time.

It was fun while it lasted, and it lasted a long time. My only regret is never getting around to giving something substantial back to the place that gave so much to me. The good friends, the experience, and one measure on which I will forever weigh my future gaming experiences are all things that I will likely never lose. So thanks, rom. And I owe you one.

ROM is dead...

Just thought I'd say -something-I'm pretty much speechless and tired, I will miss ROM a lot, even though I was hardly around toward the end, now I wish I was on more often, of course. Oh well. Now to move on, and try new MUDS let me know where you are MUDing!Thanks!
